Chapter 318 Three Kingdoms Chaos (Final)
Standing on the Hangu Pass to watch the battle, the guards and Zhang Shi, who had been kicked out, had already seen their blood boiling. Seeing their captain win, they all raised their weapons and cheered loudly.
Seeing the high morale of the troops, Xun Yu nodded secretly, thinking: The main force of the enemy army has not yet come out, and the crisis is still unresolved, but after winning two games in a row, the army's morale is as stable as Mount Tai, and they are not afraid of a deadly battle.
"Come on, go meet General Guo."
Niu Fu noticed that Guo Bang, who had collapsed on the ground, was still alive and his chest was still heaving slightly, so he immediately gave orders.
The heavy cavalry next to him had no room to refuse, and shouted, "Respond to the general!"
However, when they were about to rescue them, Zhang Heng, who had been demoted to a pawn for his crime and meritorious deeds, took the lead and flew out, followed by a dozen or so cavalry.
Duke, who had been silent for a long time, cursed bad luck, and shouted to Lu Li from a distance in the headquarters, "Brother, don't come here!"
Judging from the posture, it should be trying to pester Lu Li and prevent him from taking the opportunity to cut off Guo Si's head.
"I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't expect you to vote for Dong Hou." Lu Li put away the iron horse halberd in his hand, obviously intending to give Duke a face.
What else can we do?
If Pan Ming were here, he would have acted in the same way. After all, no matter how bad he was between brothers, he would have to help.
Seeing Lu Li's helpless look, Duke was moved, but when he thought that Li Ru and Niu Fu were still with him, he could only press the words on his lips, and said seriously: "Dong Hou is a respectful and respectful person, and he clearly rewards and punishes people. It will be a great success.”
"If the younger brother is not talented, he is still the Sima of the Qianshi Army, and he has to marry Dong Hou's daughter. If the elder brother is willing to take refuge in him, the price is beyond words."
Knowing that the other party is Ding Yuan's son-in-law, Li Ru couldn't help but look over when he heard this.
Lu Li froze in place, but he was not thinking about changing the flag, but lamenting how similar his fate was. Duke had become Dong Zhuo's son-in-law. It just so happened that he had eaten it himself. He may be in a high position, and it is even less likely that he will be valued by the young emperor and the queen mother.
But, how much does this girl look like Dong Zhuo? Although it is said that marrying a wife is a virtue, and marrying a concubine is a beauty, but if the other party is too ugly, it would be too awkward to marry and live with each other day and night at home.
Of course, Lu Li had never met Dong Zhuo, but whether it was official history or romance, the appearance of this hero could be called ugly.
Thinking of this, Lu Li felt fortunate that his nominal wife was not only beautiful, but at least had beautiful facial features. Apart from being more enthusiastic, she was very comfortable to talk to.
Because he didn't understand Lu Li's personality, seeing Lu Li's hesitation, he thought that he was acting up, Zhang Jing, the deputy lieutenant of Hangu Pass, scratched his head anxiously, and immediately shouted, "You traitor, how dare you speak nonsense..."
Hearing this, Niu Fu and Li Ru raised their eyes at the same time, their awe-inspiring aura made Zhang Jing's brow drip with sweat, he was speechless for a while, and felt that he was on the verge of death.
At this time, Lu Li replied Shi Shiran: "The way is different, so we don't plan against each other, and we each follow our own aspirations."
Speaking of this, he took a deep look at Duke, and said: "If my brother can persuade Dong Hou to retreat, it will be a great achievement!"
In fact, without answering, Lu Li knew that this matter was impossible, because these few sentences were actually just talking to outsiders.
Sure enough, Duke shook his head and stopped talking. After a short while, he led Guo Bang, Li Ru and others who had vented more air than breathed in, to leave Hangu Pass together.
From now on, the defenders of Hangu Pass and the Xiliang Army have entered the stage of confrontation between the two armies, and both sides have their strengths and weaknesses.
The advantages of Hangu Pass guarded by Lu Li and others are nothing more than four points: relying on the fortified pass, holding righteousness in hand, having backup, and strong morale.
The advantage of Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army is that it has excellent soldiers and strong generals. In addition, it has formed an ally with the Yuan family of Runan, the fourth generation and third prince.
The shortcomings of the defenders are also obvious. First of all, there are very few soldiers to fight, and they all rely on three generals to support the field. Secondly, relying too much on the Bingzhou wolf riding on the road, once an accident occurs, the consequences will be disastrous. In the end, due to the political situation in Luoyang, if the Yuan family brothers seize the palace again and control the young emperor and the queen mother, all the previous efforts will be in vain.
Dong Jun's shortcoming is the away game, lack of rations to fight fiercely, and lost two games in a row, morale will inevitably drop.
In this regard, Li Ru has proposed a remedial method, secretly publicizing the bravery of Hua Xiong and other generals who have not yet fought, and downplaying the impact of Guo Bang's death.
At least for the time being, this strategy is quite effective. In the short term, the Xiliang Army will still maintain a relatively high fighting state, but it will not be able to fight tonight.
In other words.
Right now, Dong Junjian has temporarily shifted from an active offense to a defensive state, waiting for the opportunity.
"Lu Mengming from Taiyuan is very human."
"If I can get this person, why worry about the world! But he is the son-in-law of the old man Ding Yuan."
Inside the big tent, Dong Zhuo was sitting upright, but when he was talking about Ding Yuan, he suddenly thought of something, looked at Jia Xu, and said seriously: "Wen He, you said that if the Marquis sent envoys to win him over in the name of Bingzhou Mu, Can it be successful?"
"Ding originally set the border and broke the Yellow Turban. In terms of his military exploits, he is rare in this dynasty, and his reputation is even better than that of a prince." Jia Xu said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Dong Zhuo turned his attention to Li Ru.
"As the saying goes, one mountain cannot contain two tigers, so this plan will not succeed." Li Ru shook his head.
At the next point, Duke raised his brows, hesitant to speak, he wanted to learn the routine from the Romance, and asked Li Su to bring Lu Bula over and let him cut off Ding Yuan's head.
In this way, the dilemma will be alleviated.
Although Dong Zhuo didn't notice Duke's small movements, subconsciously, he still thought of this son-in-law who always brought him surprises, and turned his head to ask, "Ziqing, do you have a good plan?"
After pondering for a while, Duke opened his mouth: "My son-in-law heard that Ding Yuan has an adopted son who is as brave as a man, and his name is Lu Bu."
After saying that, he glanced at an inconspicuous corner in the account, where a middle-aged scribe stood, it was Li Su who had not yet taken off.
Seeing his son-in-law looking at an unknown person, Dong Zhuo couldn't help feeling curious: "You mean to win over that Lu Bu?"
"Not bad." Duke said frankly: "This man's bravery is well known to all the heroes in Bingzhou, but it's a pity that he only made one master book."
This is an out-and-out civil position. Duke felt that even if a peerless general like Lu Bu with the ability to control the sky and the sea, even if he didn't show it on the surface, he must have a deep feeling in his heart.
At the same time, Li Su, who was standing in the corner, said that the opportunity had come, and immediately came out, Mao then recommended himself: "My lord, I have a fellowship with Lu Bu, and I have a good relationship with him, so I can tell you that Lu Bu surrendered with his three-inch tongue. "
Hearing that his son-in-law highly praised Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo, who was in a bad mood, became interested, and also heard that Li Su was an old friend with him, so he couldn't help asking: "Is this man really a fierce general?"
In fact, after seeing Lu Li's bravery, Dong Zhuo became wary of the Bingzhou wolf rider who had never dealt with him before.
"A certain man has followed the lord for several years, and fought in the north and south. It can be said that he has seen heroes everywhere, and they are not as good as Lu Bu."
Hearing this, Hua Xiong, who had already suppressed his anger, glared angrily, and said: "You mean, this general is not such a person?"
Li Jue, Zhang Ji, and Fan Chou also looked at him angrily.
However, facing such a situation, Li Su was neither humble nor overbearing, and said in a deep voice, "Of course."
In an instant, an aura that could overwhelm mountains and seas came from all directions. Wen Wu was the first, Wu Wu was the second. The people who can stay in the tent to discuss matters are all fierce generals who have been in Xiliang for many years. Let them admit that they are not as good as a Nobody, how is it possible? !
Fortunately, Li Su had some skills, so he was not frightened to make a fool of himself on the spot. Even so, he still felt his scalp tingling, as if he might be torn into countless pieces at any time.
Therefore, Li Su looked at Duke as if asking for help, because the other party had a special status in Dong Ying, and he also respected Lu Bu in words.
"What Mr. Li said is right, Lu Bu is number one in the world."
Duke's words were astonishing, and the generals in the account were stunned as soon as he opened his mouth.
Compared with Li Su, his words are more convincing, because even Hua Xiong has to admit that the son-in-law of the lord is a good general in the world, and given time, he may not be able to resist him.
"Ziqing, I know what you are capable of, but this matter is not a joke." Dong Zhuo looked at the expressions of Li Su and Duke when he said this, and the faces of both of them did not change. It was obvious that they believed in Lu Bu's name as unparalleled in the world. Therefore, he went on to say: "If he is really as you said, as long as he wants anything in the world, I will allow it."
Duke was overjoyed.
With Dong Zhuo paired with Lv Bu, and with the help of the Yuan family from Runan, it is still unknown who will win the battle!
Old Lu, I'm sorry.
We are on the stage that we did not choose, and performed the script that we did not choose, that is our destiny, and what we can do is to keep working hard to make the script we got even more exciting!
At this moment, Duke has already understood Lu Li's hint: the way is different, do not conspire with each other, and each follow his own aspirations.
Everyone acts according to their own will.
It's just a script, whoever wins and loses will not affect the previous friendship, let alone the final evaluation, as long as it can make the principal and the jury feel wonderful.
At this time, Li Su, who consciously acted as a lobbyist, raised his hand and said: "I heard that my lord has a divine horse named 'Red Rabbit'. Benefits are at the core of his heart. If someone goes further to make an argument, Lu Bu will definitely turn against Ding Yuan and come to vote for the lord."
Hearing this, Dong Zhuo, who had just let go of his bold words, choked up for a moment. He is also a fierce general, so he naturally cherishes his mount. Hearing what Li Su said, he hesitated for a moment.
"My lord wants to achieve great things, so why not give up!"
Li Ru spoke again, dispelling the hesitation in Dong Zhuo's heart, only to see him let out a long sigh of relief: "BMW matches heroes, this Marquis agrees, pearls, jade belts and other vulgar things, you can ask, and this Marquis will not hesitate."
Before the generals could recover, Dong Zhuo said something astonishing: "As long as Ding Yuan can be killed, I will personally ask the Grand Tutor for his merits and make him Marquis of Duting."
Once Ding Yuan is resolved, there will be no obstacles on the road to controlling the government, so Dong Zhuo is willing to part with this capital.
[Running thousands of miles to shake dust, crossing water and climbing mountains to open purple fog. Break the silk rein and shake the jade bridle, and the fire dragon flies down to the nine heavens. 】
All the generals in the account, including Duke, were extremely envious of the Chituma, but due to the majesty of the lord, they could only hold back their thoughts, and now they heard that they were going to give it to the enemy general.
Lu Bu? I remember you.
A trace of fighting intent flashed in Hua Xiong's eyes.
child time.
One man and two horses drove out of the gate, but instead of heading towards Hangu Pass, they galloped northward, crossing Mianchi and Xin'an, intending to cross the Yellow River.
"Chitu, Chitu..."
Standing on the high platform with his hands behind his back, Duke murmured, "It's up to you, I hope fate will not be broken."
Behind him, a figure flashed by, and the sound of footsteps was getting closer and closer, only to see Li Ru walking towards with a smile.
Frankly speaking, Duke has never seen Li Ru jumping his feet in a hurry. He always has a smile on his face and looks like he is holding a wisdom pearl, and he is still the same now.
"Could it be that brother has a plan in mind to break the situation, and you want to say that Ziqing knows about it?" Duke couldn't help asking.
"What game to break?" Li Ru asked back.
"Of course it's a dead end right now."
In Duke's eyes, Dong Jun's current situation can be compared to playing chess. He is trapped between the Yellow River and Hangu Pass, in a dilemma, and there are rebels who are coming at any time.
What is it if it is not a dead end?
"We've already played chess, and if one piece survives, the whole plate will survive." Li Ru was wearing a robe, and under the blowing night wind, he seemed quite unrestrained.
"Then, how should the righteous teachers who came to King Qin deal with it?"
"Don't worry, the hearts of the heroes in these places can't be united at all." Xu said without Dong Zhuo by his side, Li Ruchang said freely: "They are all seeking personal gain under the banner of righteousness, no different from father-in-law."
"Furthermore, we are waiting for the Grand Tutor's invitation to join Luo to kill traitors. Naturally, we will have allies to help. In this way, even if Lu Bu is unwilling to turn his back on the Lord, it will be fine. Why is there a dead end?"
Du Ke was speechless to refute, but after careful consideration, Li Ru was indeed right. Later generations of the 18 princes called for Dong, and they all elected Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance. His younger brother Yuan Shu was also in charge of food distribution.
Now that the Yuan family and his father-in-law have become allies, the matter of begging Dong may become a beggar.
For a time, it suddenly became clear.
That night, the two talked and laughed until dawn.
Ten miles away, Lu Li, Zhao Yun, and Xun Yu did the same.
Peiguo Qiao County is not far from Luoyang. After receiving a letter from their elder brother Cao Cao, Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan, Cao Hong, Cao Ren and others galloped through the starry night without any entourage, and finally arrived at Hangu Pass at dawn.
Xia Houyuan held a long spear on his shoulder, stood up and looked forward, and said with a smile: "Yuan Rang, Dong Hou must be camping over there. We are newcomers, why don't we go to the camp and kill them, so that the guard guards will not dare to fight?" Look down on us."
"Have you forgotten what my brother once said?"
Before Xiahoudun could answer, Cao Hong said:
"As a general, when you are timid, you can't just rely on courage. Generals should use courage as the foundation and act with wisdom; but if you know how to be brave, a man can't match his ears."
"The iron cavalry from Xiliang is criss-crossing the north. There must be something proud of it. Marquis Dong established his family with military exploits. How can there be no generals under his command?"
In the distance, Lu Li saw four riders Sun Jian wandering around the pass, and they all rode Dawan Tianma. He guessed that it was the brother of Dianjun Cao Cao's family who had arrived.
at the same time.
Two thousand white horses arrived at the north bank of the Yellow River. A majestic and handsome man stood on the bank, looking at Mianchi on the opposite bank. Beside him, a man with a crown of jade frowned, as if he was worried about something.
"Xuande doesn't have to be like this. When we cross the Yellow River, Luoyang's difficulties will be solved by ourselves."
I wanted to end the chapter today, but I felt it was too hasty. I will write a big chapter tomorrow and finish this dungeon.
